Hey, everybody. It's getting close to the end of the year. We have a tradition here at

MTCT of releasing our setting goals casts over the Christmas break. And this is the time for

reflection and goal setting and so on. Hopefully your organization has already done it. If it hasn't

don't wait for your organization to do it. Go ahead and do it yourself and then incorporate your

company's goals, your organizational goals into yours rather than the other way around.

If you don't know where you're going, you're never going to get there.

And look, in our last cast, we gave you examples, but even after we gave example goals,

some managers then went further and said, how can I set a goal that's bigger than what I'm

already doing when this year was so hard? How can I find more revenue when I barely made it this

year? How can I cut costs down to the bone, right? And more difficult than ever. And we'll answer

that question in this cast and give you some ways, different ways to think about your goals,

which a light is stretch and grow. And again, this is a re-release. So we've got next voice you'll

hear is Mike introducing the cast. Happy Christmas, Merry Christmas, the least Navidad,

one Noel, from all of us at Manager Tools, to all of you all over the world.

It is a great privilege to serve you and we do not take it lightly. And I hope you're enjoying

your time with your family. I hope you've perhaps dug a little deeper into your pockets and found

a family to support during these really difficult and economic times. And I hope you know

that we think of you often and we hope that we are contributing in a way that's making you a

better person, a better professional, a better manager, a better executive, a better human being.

Because it's great to be alive and to know that your purpose is to help other people have great

lives as well. Enjoy the cast. Welcome to Manager Tools. Today's topic, Assumptive Goal Setting.

Here we go.
